Not sure what year/make/model this vehicle we found on the street would be.

Nice year Chevy. Was popular back in the day
Yeah - have some buddy's who are die-hard Chev guys and I liked the mid-60's Chevelle's never got juiced up with Impala's or Bel Aires though...
 
Had a 61 bubble top, I liked it. Loved the 59, 60 dash. Used them on several car builds.
 
63 chevy, alright! I oughta know, i literally junked one yesterday! I was so happy it was gone, i celebrated with a beer and a ribeye.
Now if i can get rid of the dead Kawasaki, i'll be REAL happy!
 
my first car was a 63 Impala ss 409 4 speed blew up the 409 sold it and bought my first road runner been hooked ever since
 
I've worked on a few of them in the past for a buddy and his shop he was short handed and car had to be finished and shipped long story short I put it together got the ls1 running and driving got the air ride setup .... Customer was very thrilled I enjoyed driving it for testing
 
61-62 SS especially the 409 425hp 2x4bbl 4 speed cars
especially the bubble tops & 65 SS 396cid 4 speed
all in an HT version were the best years IMVHFO

many of the lesser/lower/cheaper models had a different roof line
window frames & b-pillars, especially the C-pillars, slant of the roofline

I can't really tell by that photo above what year it is
even with a 21" 'puter screen/monitor'
Is it, a post coupe/sedan car ?
almost looks to be a lessor model like a Biscayne or Bel Air
did it have 6 tail lights ? has to be an Impala before a 1966

cary on

Well the 63 i junked was a four door hardtop. Dibbons pic looks like a four door sedan, which means it is likely a belair or Biscayne, but it shows a impala brushed aluminum panel on the trunk.
Need a closer shot to be sure either way.

Hey no argument those early 60's were cool, liked the 61-62's - I'm pert sure that pic is a 63 making out the back end with 6 lights enough to chime in on it. Some great pics posted.
 
When I was a kid a friend got to drive (and later inherited) his mom’s black / black ‘63 409 425hp dual quad convertible. Car was so cool.
